End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: More Monstrous than Monsters, Must Hold On
“Get lost!” The driver was exasperated.

This kid was out of his mind!

Ever since he got on, he’s been nagging about driving the armored vehicle, wanting to see how it differed from the ones in the game.

Damn it! This is reality. Are armored vehicles something you can just drive around as you please?

“My honey is awesome!” Emma, sitting in the back, was all smiles.

Naturally, she was overjoyed to see Jeremy becoming stronger.

“It’s just a BOSS. What’s the big deal!” Bonnie gritted her teeth, unwilling to admit Jeremy was stronger than her.

Even though her name was nowhere to be seen on the current level rankings, Bonnie’s remark was somewhat unreasonable.

But just the thought of Jeremy’s smug face and his snarky mouth made her lose her cool.

On a tank at the very front of the team.

After seeing the prompt, Howard couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Good lad! He even slaughtered the BOSS of the commercial district, truly someone I had my eyes on!”

Howard was becoming impatient, eager to meet this young man.

He grabbed the walkie-talkie and loudly ordered, “Everyone, full speed ahead!”

“Roger that!” came immediate responses from the walkie-talkie.

The steel torrent surged forward with increased speed, unstoppable towards the commercial district!

…

Meanwhile, high above in the sky.

A supersonic jet was rapidly approaching Moonlight City.

On the plane, four individuals dressed in black special ops uniforms were either meditating or resting.

[Congratulations to the player ‘Jeremy’ for being the first to kill a BOSS in this apocalyptic game!]

As the notification appeared, all four on board paused.

“No wonder the commander asked us to come personally. This Jeremy is something special, managing to get the first BOSS kill.” remarked one of the average-looking young men, amazed.

A muscular man carrying a battle axe laughed, “Not only did he become the first level 10 player, but he also got the first BOSS kill, and I heard he’s only 18. I’m already looking forward to meeting this young man!”

A refined and handsome young man looked down at his book, commenting indifferently, “Benjamin is also in the capital. This might be a player he’s grooming. With his assistance, it’s not surprising this young man could kill the BOSS.”

A woman with fiery red lips snorted, “Another lapdog of the major families, a bunch of useless people. Every time they’re hyped up to no end, but once on the battlefield, they turn into cowards.”

The others glanced at her, knowing this woman had issues with the major families and wisely chose to remain silent.

The refined young man suddenly looked up and asked, “Captain, what do you think of this Jeremy?”

At his words, everyone’s gaze shifted towards the direction of the pilot seat.

Vaguely, they could see a svelte figure with silver long hair sitting at the helm.

Silence lingered for a moment.

A cool voice emanated from the driver’s seat.

She calmly said, “If he’s not strong enough, just kill him. The leader probably won’t say much.”

The others were momentarily stunned, then smiles quickly spread across their faces.

Because this was exactly what they desired.

Being suddenly dispatched to the distant Moonlight City to rescue someone had already put them in a bad mood.

If the person had strength, it would be one thing. But if they were going to save a nobody, they wouldn’t be blamed for not showing any courtesy.

…

In the commercial square.

Half an hour passed, Claire could only watch helplessly as monsters overwhelmed Jeremy time and again, leaving wounds across his body.

What relieved Claire was that every time Jeremy would emerge from the pile of monsters with blood-red eyes, showing no signs of fatigue. Moreover, every so often, a golden glow would light up on him, healing his battered body somewhat.

But this was no solution.

While leveling up could enhance one’s physique and strength, it couldn’t fully restore wounds and stamina.

Claire could see that Jeremy’s speed and strength had slowed down considerably from the start.

If this continued, Jeremy would sooner or later be overwhelmed by the tens of thousands of monsters.

Claire was frantic, trying to think of a way to rescue Jeremy.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Just then, the sounds of gunfire and explosions suddenly came from afar.

Claire initially didn’t pay much attention, assuming they were just players who had obtained firearms.

But as the gunfire grew clearer and louder, she realized something was amiss.

It seemed many people were approaching their direction!

Claire was startled and quickly found a higher position to look towards the source of the sounds.

Then, not far away, she saw a fully armed black-clad troop.

The troop, consisting of thousands, was rapidly approaching the commercial square.

“This is… Moonlight City’s Special Forces!” Claire recognized their identity, her eyes widening in surprise.

Moonlight City’s Special Forces were arguably the strongest armed force in Moonlight City. Claire hadn’t expected to encounter them here.

Although the number of these people was small, and she was unclear about the purpose of their teams being here.

But Jeremy couldn’t hold on much longer. Even with just a glimmer of hope, Claire had to try. Ignoring her injuries, she forced herself to use her mental strength to project her voice as far as possible.

“Over here, we need rescue!!”

With the help of her psychic power, Claire’s voice created ripples in the air, rapidly spreading out.

To Claire’s surprise, upon hearing her call for help, the troop immediately changed direction and sped towards them.

Just as Claire was puzzled, from afar, someone used a megaphone to shout towards her, “What’s the situation over there? Is Jeremy still alive?!”

Claire recognized the voice. It was Benjamin, the Mayor of Moonlight City!

At that moment, she understood the reason for their arrival.

They had come for Jeremy!

Without hesitation, Claire shouted back, “Jeremy is still alive, but he can’t hold on much longer!”

Upon hearing this, Benjamin and the others were all overjoyed.

It was a relief that Jeremy was still alive!

“This kid really does have a big destiny!” Benjamin said excitedly. He then spoke into the walkie-talkie loudly, “Everyone, speed up! We absolutely can’t let Jeremy die here!”

Hearing Benjamin’s words, the thousand-person special forces team quickened their pace towards the commercial square.

However, upon reaching the square and witnessing the scene, everyone froze in place.

The commercial square was completely drenched in blood, with countless monsters’ limbs and body parts strewn everywhere.

At the center of the square, numerous monsters converged, forming a black sea of beasts.

A blood-red figure stood out conspicuously among them.

He moved through the monsters like a god of war, with tens of thousands of beasts unable to lay a finger on him!

In the center, Jeremy’s eyes were fierce, gripping a long sword, his entire being soaked in red.

His body was covered in wounds, his features no longer discernible.

The only memorable traits were his blood-red eyes and the strikingly bright blood-colored flames enveloping him.

Surrounding him were menacing monsters and their corpses.

“He actually survived!” Maggie said, her face full of shock as she gazed at the hellish scene.

What shocked her even more was that in the face of such a desperate situation, Jeremy not only persisted but also killed so many monsters!

Those who snapped out of their shock quickly checked Jeremy’s level on the leaderboard.

To their astonishment, Jeremy was ranked first, having reached level 25, a full five levels ahead of the next person!

Maggie was speechless with shock.

How many monsters had Jeremy killed in such a short time!

It was beyond her imagination.

Dana said with immense reverence, “This guy, he’s more like a monster than the monsters themselves!”

Everyone unanimously agreed.

“What are you waiting for, go rescue him now!!” Benjamin shouted angrily into the walkie-talkie.

Snapping back to reality, the group hastily rearranged their formation and rushed towards the center of the commercial square.

With the special forces joining the battle, the sudden change disrupted the status quo in the square.

Some monsters, seeing so many humans charging at them, instantly abandoned Jeremy and excitedly surrounded the special forces.

But before they could get close, the special forces’ guns were already aimed at them, triggers pulled.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The dense gunfire erupted like thunder across the square.

Monsters that hadn’t even reacted were torn apart by bullets.

Seeing this, Claire let out a long sigh of relief.

But worry still lingered in her beautiful eyes.

Although the special forces were well-equipped, there were only a thousand of them.

Facing tens of thousands of monsters, even if they could rescue Jeremy, it would likely take considerable time.

Claire looked in Jeremy’s direction, praying in her heart, “Jeremy, you must hold on!”

At this moment, Jeremy’s speed weaving through the monsters had slowed significantly, even the blood-colored flames on his body were no longer as fierce as before.

Clearly, he had reached his limit.

Worry was also evident on Benjamin’s face.

If Jeremy died, it would be a loss not just for Moonlight City, but for the entire federation, and indeed, all of humanity!
